Five Hotels That Opened Restaurants and Bars This Summer

The Bullock at Live! by Loews–St. Louis opened this summer. This large open-air rooftop bar and lounge complete with a fire pit and 12-foot outdoor viewing screen serves modern American fare and craft cocktails alongside views of Busch Stadium, Clark Avenue, and the new Cardinals Walk of Fame. The Bullock’s namesake is influential bartender, Tom Bullock, whose career at the St. Louis Country Club led him to be the first African-American bartender to publish a cocktail manual in the pre-prohibition era. The Bullock’s menu includes classic cocktails with a local flare, as well as light bites and shareable items, local draft beer, and a comprehensive wine and spirit collection. The chef-curated concept is overseen by Executive Chef Matt Lange.

Henry’s Palm Beach debuted on June 17 in Palm Beach, Florida as the latest addition to the culinary collection of The Breakers Palm Beach. Named after Florida visionary and resort founder Henry M. Flagler, Henry’s serves “elevated comfort food with character and a hint of nostalgia” from its location at Via Flagler by The Breakers, an alfresco plaza with a collection of boutiques, eateries, and residences that is located just minutes from the resort on Royal Poinciana Way—Palm Beach’s original Main Street. In advance of opening, The Breakers’ F&B team pivoted its plans for the venue, adapting its operational strategy, layout, and menus for the current environment.

In July, Reunion Resort & Golf Club in Central Florida announced the opening of the full-service resort’s latest fine-dining restaurant—7593 Chophouse. Located off the Grande building’s lobby and led by Executive Chef Sabrina Greene, 7593 Chophouse takes its name from the resort’s street address and plays with these four numbers in its menu, offering seven sides, five “savory enhancements,” nine proteins, and three signature sushi rolls. In addition to a visible wine cellar, 7593 Chophouse serves celebrity-themed cocktails named for notable personalities known for enjoying golf and who can be seen adorning the restaurant’s walls—Dean Martini, JFK Cape Codder, Hepburn Toast, and Ole Babe Ruth, among others. The restaurant also has a visible wine cellar.

The Glenmark, Glendale, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, opened on July 17 in Glendale, California. The property has four distinct food and beverage options helmed by Executive Chef Tony Trujillo: Mila, Glendale’s tallest rooftop bar with views of the Los Angeles skyline, Hollywood Hills, and Verdugo Mountains; Intelligentsia Coffee Roasters; a lobby bar; and a signature restaurant, Olia, which serves a modern interpretation of Mediterranean and French Provincial cuisine. Olia is initially offering takeaway items during breakfast and lunch hours.
